Definitions

  • This invention relates to pterostilbene for use in the treatment, alleviation, or prevention of anxiety in a subject by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of pterostilbene, an analog of resveratrol, found in grapes and some Vaccinium berries.
  • Anxiety disorders are common in community settings and in primary and secondary medical care, and frequently turn into chronic clinical conditions ( Nutt et al, 2002. Int. J. Neuropsychopharmacol. 5:315-325 ). Anxiety disorders are the most common type of psychiatric disorders, with an incidence of 18.1 % and a lifetime prevalence of 28.8% ( Kessler et al. 2005. Arch. Gen. Psychiatry 82: 617-627 : Ohayon, M. M. 2006. J. Psychiatr. Res. 40: 475-476 ). Anti-anxiety drugs have been used by human beings for thousands of years.
  • Benzodiazepine group of drugs are fast acting, effective and the most commonly prescribed anxiolytics ( Bandelow et al. 2008. World J. Biol. Psychiatry 9:248-312 ; Baldwin et al. 2005. J. Psychopharrnacoi. 19:567-596 ; Rudolph and Mohler. 2006. Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 6:18-23 ).
  • their long-term use is associated with side effects such as sedation, development of tolerance, abuse liability, and withdrawal symptoms (Nutt et al, supra; Bandelow et al., supra; Baldwin et al, supra).
  • Stilbenes are a group of phytochemicals having an ⁇ , ⁇ -diphenylethylene core structure. Stilbenes have been reported in a large number of unrelated plant genera including grapes, peanuts, and Vaccinium berries ( Chong et al. 2009. Plant Sci. 177:143-155 ).
  • Resveratrol a widely studied stilbene, has been reported to exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, chemopreventive, and anti-aging effects in a number of biological systems ( Aggarwal et al. 2004. Anticancer Res. 24:2783-2840 ; Baur and Sinclair. 2008. Nat Rev. Drug Disco. 5:493-506 ; Bishayee, A. 2009. Cancer Prev. Res. 2:409-418 ).
  • the effects of resveratrol are also described in the patent literature.
  • WO 2010/095943 A1 disclose the use of an hydroxylated stilbene, in particular resveratrol, in the manufacture of a neutraceutical composition for increasing the microvascular plasticity and/or microvessel density, and/or decreasing the microvessel abnormalities in the brain, in particular in the hippocampus of a mammal, in particular for the treatment of age- and condition-related decline in brain neuronal function and/or cognitive functioning in a mammal.
  • pterostilbene a natural analog of resveratrol, found in some Vaccinium berries such as blueberries and deerberries ( Rimando et al. 2004. J. Agric. Food Chem.
  • Pterostilbene has analgesic, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and cancer chemopreventive properties ( Amarnath Sateesh and Pari. 2006. J. Pharm. Pharmacol. 58: 1483-1490 ; Remsberg et al. 2008. Phytotherapy Res. 22: 169-179 ; Rimando et al. 2002. J. Agric. Food Chem. 50:3453-3457 ; Rimando et al. 2005. J. Agric. Food Chem. 53:3403-3407 ).
  • Pterostilbene also has significant effect on colon cancer development ( Paul et al. 2009. Cancer Prev. Res. 2:650-657 ), invasion and metastasis ( Pan et al. 2009. Carcinogenesis 30: 1234-1242 ), and in reversing cognitive deficits in aged rats ( Joseph et al. 2008. J. Agric. Food Chem. 56:10544-10551 ).
  • the anxiolytic potential of pterostilbene has not yet been investigated.
  • ERK 1/2 extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2
  • pterostilbene for use in the treatment, alleviation or prevention of anxiety in a subject in need thereof by administering a therapeutically effective dose of pterostilbene, its pharmaceutically acceptable salts or isomers thereof.
  • kits for use in the treatment, alleviation, or prevention of anxiety comprising a pharmaceutical composition containing pterostilbene; and instructions for the use of the kit.
  • Diazepam one of the most frequently used anxiolytic compounds was used as a positive control in this study.
  • the EPM is a widely used model of anxiety employed by a large number of investigators (Pellow et al., supra ; Hogg, supra ). It has been proposed that normal exploratory behavior of rodents is in favor of the enclosed arms of the maze in the elevated plus-maze model, and that aversion towards the anxiety-provoking open arms is the basis of EPM model (Pellow et al ., supra ; Ohl, F. 2003. Clin. Neruosci. Res. 3: 233-238 ). A large body of evidence has established that the administration of anxiolytic compounds reduces the natural aversion to the open arms and promotes the exploration thereof (Pellow et al ., supra; Hogg, supra ).
  • Pterostilbene manifested anxiolysis at 1 and 2 mg/kg doses: the per cent P ermanence T ime in O pen A rms (PTOA), and N umber of E ntries in O pen A rms (NEOA), which are critical determinants and considered to be correlated with anxiety, were increased at defined low doses (See Example 2).
  • Pterostilbene was also able to increase the percent T raveled D istance in O pen A rms (TDOA) at both 1 and 2 mg/kg doses.
  • higher doses (5 and 10 mg/kg) didn't show any anxiolytic effect; and contrarily, the higher doses had the tendency to increase the aversion towards the open arms, i . e .
  • the anxiolytic activity of pterostilbene was further corroborated with findings that the percent T raveled D istance in the E nclosed A rms (TDEA) and the percent P ermanence T ime in the E nclosed A rms (PTEA) also decreased upon treatment with 1 and 2 mg/kg of pterostilbene. Also, the anxiolytic activity of pterostilbene was quite similar to that of diazepam. The 2 mg/kg of pterostilbene showed comparable effects to 2 mg/kg of diazepam, at least, in the EPM.
  • the locomotor activity of the animals was evaluated to demonstrate that the anxiolytic activity of pterostilbene at lower doses (1 and 2 mg/kg) was not a secondary consequence of depressive action of the compound on the motor activity of the animals.
  • the absence of anxiolytic effect at the higher doses (5 and 10 mg/kg) was also not due to motor impairment. Therefore, no stimulant or depressive actions were recorded, suggesting that it is very unlikely that the observed anxiolytic effects are false positives.
  • the brain contains a variety of receptors like NMDA, GABA and ion channels that can potentially alter the phosphorylation of MAP kinase.
  • NMDA neuropeptide-like kinase
  • GABA GABA-like kinase
  • ion channels phosphorylation channels
  • Studies showing the activation of MAP kinase by NMDA receptors have been well documented ( Xia et al. 1996. J. Neurosci. 16:5425-5436 ; Orban et al. 1999. Trends Neurosci. 22:38-44 ).
  • studies implicated the ERK/MAPK pathway as a negative modulator of GABA receptor function ( Bell-Horner et al. 2006. J. Neurobiol. 66:1467-1474 ). Whether the decrease in ERK1/2 phosphorylation is mediated by blockade of NMDA receptors or activation of GABA receptors, is a subject of our ongoing investigation.
  • pterostilbene at high doses (5 and 10 mg/kg), acting simultaneously on memory pathways, may have increased the capacity of working memory buffer of the mice, thereby limiting their exploratory behavior towards the stress-provoking, aversive open arms after their very initial exposure to the arms in the EPM.
  • This notion is further strengthened by the findings that pterostilbene at high doses increased the level of phosphorylated ERKs in the hippocampus as compared to the lower doses suggesting enhanced pERK levels may have played a role in increasing the working memory buffer.
  • the compounds of the present invention are therefore of use to treat, alleviate, or prevent anxiety in a subject in need thereof.
  • the compounds of the invention are considered useful for the treatment, prevention or alleviation of anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, agoraphobia without history of panic disorder, animal and other phobias including social phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and generalized or substance-induced anxiety disorder; stress disorders including post-traumatic and acute stress disorder.

  • Pterostilbene was synthesized as previously described (Joseph et al ., supra ). Briefly, pterostilbene was synthesized by condensation of 3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde and 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid in acetic anhydride and triethylamine. The reaction mixture was heated (150 °C) under an atmosphere of nitrogen and continuously stirred. After 20 h, the reaction was stopped and cooled to room temperature, and concentrated hydrochloric acid (5 mL) was added. A precipitate formed, and this was dissolved in 50 mL of chloroform and then extracted with 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide.

  • This intermediate product was heated with 1.0 g of copper in 10 mL of quinoline (200 °C, 6 h, under nitrogen). The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. To the filtrate was added 5 N hydrochloric acid (25 mL), which was stirred for 1 h and then extracted with chloroform.
  • the chloroform extract containing impure pterostilbene was purified by flash chromatography on a Horizon HPFC system (Biotage, Inc., Charlottesville, VA), using a silica gel column and the solvent system ethyl acetate:hexane (linear gradient from 15:85 to 100% ethyl acetate). Fractions containing pure pterostilbene were combined and concentrated in vacuum. Pterostilbene was recrystallized in hexane, and its structure was confirmed from its spectroscopic data (UV, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) ( Fig. 1 ).
  • Pterostilbene was dissolved in a mixture of cremophor, ethanol, and saline (1:1:18) in doses between 1 and 10 mg/kg body weight. A volume of 10 mL/kg was administered orally 1 h before the behavioral tests.
  • mice Eight-week old male Swiss Webster mice (Harlan, IN, USA) weighing 24-30 gm at the time of testing were used for all studies. Animals were housed in groups of five, were given food and water ad libitum , and maintained under a 12:12 h day:light cycle. All mice were randomly selected for each treatment group.
